Apologies for the off-topic post, but I haven't been able to find the answer to this.

What does the '@' mean in a file's permissions? I see this on some files and it appears random to me.

-rwxr-xr--@  1 ronin  admin    1536 Jan 11  2007 clrPortCache

I've also seen an addition sign '+' as well.

Where can I find a cheat sheet of "non-standard" permission characters and what they mean?

I don't recall seeing this in OS X versions prior to Leopard, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

@ means the files has extended attributes set. Use xattr to get a list or view them.
+ means an ACL is in use. Use ls -e to list them.
